I have been through hell and back.

I don’t let the pain define me.

I am still dressing my battle scars and swaddling the hurt.

I am armored and suited up with God’s Love.

I am able to prevent and deflect further pain and hurt.

I am tired of sadness and pain.

One thing that I have learned, though is that the connections that I have made with others has helped to heal me through my pain.

I am comforted in knowing that God cannot use you if you have never been through anything.

I have a story tell.

I have overcome.

I am a living testimony of what Faith looks like.

Even when I have tears rolling down my face, I know that good days are coming.
